Tonight she seems a little restless and after going out to pee for the night she was on the couch panting again. That is a worry but maybe she did a bit too much today.
I wanted to share something the discharge nurse told me that really shocked me...when I was talking about giving her the pills she said I could use rinsed rotisserie chicken ??? THAT is injected with butter/oil I can't imagine rinsing it would work. She also said to use vanilla lowfat yogurt.
Does anyone know if the Hills regular ID script food is that much different than the Hill's low fat ID script food? Our vet gave us the regular ( either they are NOT paying attention or it's ok for pancreatitis?) I sent the cans back but I had already fed one meal with it. I have to stop assuming everyone knows what they are doing and I need to check and double check everything. |
NO the regular Hill's ID is NOT the same!!! It is good for GI stuff, but not if a pup needs low fat. I found that out the hard way! One meal won't hurt...but get the low fat! You are right...people do make mistakes....always be vigilant. Very observant on your part!!!
Would I use that chicken? NO - I know people do, but I won't do it. For a low fat treat I give little chunks of sweet potatoes. My pups all love them! You can put a pill in a tiny piece. I cut the ends off of the potato and microwave on a pad of paper towels for 3-6 minutes depending on the size. I always have them in my fridge!
So happy she is doing better. Panting is often a sign of pain...she may still be a bit painful. I would try to keep her less active for now ... but do let her play some...that is wonderful she is feeling like that!!!
